As usual, this is up to the individual speaker[s].

At the very least we can of course simply use #osmocom as channel to ask
questions via text. But we can certainly also consider running a BBB or
Jitsi session for Q+A.

Not really anything beyond tradition and "let's not delay it any
further". For logistical reasons, it is also good to stay clear of both
easter and whitsun school holidays [hotels / flights will be more busy
then]. So April 11 .. 23 and May 27 .. June 7 should be avoided in 2022.
My current target would have been April 30 .. May 2nd timeframe.
But I'm not fundamentally opposed to a change of schedule, if there are
more people arguing for that, particularly those wanting to attend in
person.

IMHO Outdoor is unrealistic for a variety of reasons, if not only for
being able to have sufficient contrast for following a presentation on a
projected screen. Obviously, there's also weather uncertainty, so you
cannot plan an event outdoor. Other than putting up large tents, which
then also doesn't really help ventilation...
